I am almost ready to order parts for my first gaming build. This is my first time ever building a PC, and I would like some constructive feedback on my build. I intend to use it to play the latest games, as well as upcoming games, preferably at maximum settings. I am planning on upgrading or expanding on this build in the future as necessary. I would like to have the option of overclocking available to me, so any feedback on how well this rig could handle that would be much appreciated. I am also considering SLI, multiple monitors (possibly with a 4K monitor), and streaming or making some Let's Plays. I am also planning on getting VR gear later this year or sometime next year, so I would also like to know if this rig would be able to handle VR.
Here is my parts list:

I may be getting some of these components (video card, CPU, mobo, memory, and either the SSD or HDD) in a Newegg Configurator bundle). Are these worth it in terms of warranty and that sort of thing?
Also, I have a gift card I received from Newegg that I plan to use on this purchase. Does Newegg permit using gift cards on configurator bundles? Can rebates be applied to these sorts of bundles?
Thanks for your feedback!
